Last week, Seattle Park and Recreation’s tree crew identified a cracked and hazardous maple tree over the tennis court and paths at Kinnear Park. The tree has a large crack between two major stems that extends down the trunk and has signs of recent movement.

A removal sign was placed around the tree last week. The tree crew plans to remove the tree on Monday, June 2.

The tennis courts will close for at least part of the time the removal is taking place.
